Solvang Senior Center will hold the first in its fall Health and Wellbeing Lecture Series, 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12 at the center, 1745 Mission Drive, #A.

Cannabis Basics for Active Aging Adults: An Introduction to Medical Use will be hosted by Kandice Hawes and Sue Taylor from The Farmacy in Santa Ynez.

The program provides evidence-based information designed to dispel misconceptions and help seniors make informed decisions about cannabis’ potential benefits, the senior center said.

For reservations, email ssctr@verizon.net or call 805-688-3793.

“We are the hub for adults 55-plus who are looking for a sense of community; a place to meet and make new friends, a place to learn new skills, expand one’s mind and exercise one’s body,” said Ellen Albertoni, the center’s executive director.

“Our new lecture series is the perfect way to explore additional opportunities that enhance their well-being and quality of life,” she said.

More programs like the fall lecture series will be offered when the center’s new, larger facility is built, allowing for an expanded calendar of activities for active aging adults, and the community as a whole.
